Raspberry Line Chapter 4 - Accidentally A First Kiss
The class shuffled in, laughing and cackling. Except a few, who were a bit perturbed at the events on the playground; Emeral in particular. She took her seat, glaring forward at the empty desk in front of her, ignoring all else. Ritzer sat at the desk...
Raspberry Line Chapter 3 - Butterflies
Lunch arrived, and then passed. Crispy Tacos, with ground meat that left a metallic aftertaste. Presently, Emeral sat at her desk, as she had done all morning, staring at the back of Ket's head. It was all she could do to keep from falling asleep. So...
Raspberry Line Chapter 2 - Cimmanon Roll
Emeral yawned and brushed the hair out of her eyes with a heavy hand. She stepped into the cafeteria during breakfast. It was the same as any other cafeteria: smells of cinnamon rolls, chocolate milk, and every now and then a whiff from the...
Lonely Oak Chapter 12
The bell rang. Children scurried to their seats, pretending they had been there the entire time. There was no order, no seating arrangement; friends sat with friends, enemies sat far away from enemies, and the cliques and...

Lonely Oak Chapter 104 - Swimmer's Ear
The red wolf whistled. "Wiggin's class, let's go," Mr. Wiggin called, walking backwards across the cross-walk. On the other side, he tallied all of his charges. "C'mon, Max, that means you!" Ms. Hupp's class waited, as the beaver-kid lagging behind...
